15 The community elders will press their hands on the bull’s head before the Lord and then slaughter it before the Lord.
16 The anointed priest will take some of the bull’s blood into the meeting tent.
17 The priest will dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord toward the inner curtain.
18 Then he will put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord in the meeting tent. But he will pour all the rest of the blood out at the base of the altar of entirely burned offerings that is at the meeting tent’s entrance.
19 Then he will remove all the fat from it and completely burn it on the altar.
20 He will do the same with this bull as he did with the other bull for the purification offering; that is exactly what he must do. In this way, the priest will make reconciliation for them, and they will be forgiven.
21 Then the priest will take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as the first bull was burned. It is the purification offering for the assembly.
